The Prairie Steamer Stage Race, held this past weekend in and around Calgary, features a rolling road race in the foothills west of Cochrane, a Hill Climb Time Trial in Edworthy Park near the centre of Calgary, and a Kilometre (men)/500 metre (women) Time Trial on the Glenmore Velodrome.

This year's event also featured plenty of rain, with all but the Category 5 kilo's being cancelled. The road race served as selection event for the Alberta Provincial Road Team, which will compete at the National Road Championships and the Tour de l'Abitibi.
